Ok I bought a 1 ton steering from Drmoab last weekend. Showed a fellow jeeper at work and according to him I will have issues with this set up. A few things he said I would have issues with is the steering hitting my quick disconnects and I would have to cut and relocate them. Another is my steering will hit my differential cover while flexing. Does anyone else have this set up? Is any of this in fact true? Thanks for your help.

Under or over the knuckle?
OTK = moving the axle side swaybar mounts (and you should relocate your track bar as well)
UTK = no change necessary.
Either should clear a stock diff cover. If you're running an aftermarket cover, YMMV.

Because he has been here longer than you. Just like you have been on here for a year longer that the person you were calling out. I wouldn't consider someone who has been around for 3 years "new"

How about we take squabbles private before we scare the OP away, regardless of how long we have been here? My advice, contact JCR, I've done business with them before and they are extremely helpful. Let them know what you got, and what your plans are.

The jcr steering works great if you understand it. You can make a .50 cent spacer that will get rid of all tie rod roll forever.

Ok and with any good otk setup you have to relocate your track bar.

Stock type steering limits articulation. Why would you wanna do that?
OE steering flexes fine.... its just not strong! This is all stock setup other then a HD tie rod.
I now have a ruff stuff y link kit OTK, same thing as JCR. There is nothing wrong with JCRs instructions ether... actually referenced them when I did my ruff stuff kit. I would be sure to run the JCR spacers or make your own to keep the tie rod roll down. The only thing I really don't like is the reduced steering radius due to clearance issues going OTK but it is beffey!

The tie rod side droops just fine the issue is on the draglink side. It seems to wanna fight it.
